Why do I want more fafi?

Hi Bellas,

How’s it going over there. So I’ve been officially reprimanded for me being on the internet too much. I was in HR meeting with her about moving to a new team for other reasons, and she mentioned that two managers had told her that I was on the internet a lot and that this was against company policy. Yikes! I didn’t get in trouble really, but that means no more ABB, beauty blogs, you tube, specktra, or anything during work hours. I also try to read everyone’s blogs daily, but now it will be more during my nighttime hours. Sorry guys! Can’t get into trouble!

So today is the official release date of the FAFI collection. Are you guys heading out there? I think I’m going to pick up the blush in fashion frenzy. I didn’t get it at first, but after reading Nessa’s blog…I think I will pick it up. I don’t have dollymix, which is supposed to be similar. Also, Mathieu, a boy wearing makeup, on you tube wore it for his Fafi’s Valentines look and he loves it! I think I will also pick up nice vice paint pot since it was sold out, two of the other fafi dolls I didn’t get (for collecting purposes-they WILL stay in the box) a pink paint pot (not sure which one yet) and fun n sexy lipstick, which was also sold out at the time. That’s it!

Have you guys ever clicked on the links portion underneath any you tube videos you‘ve ever posted? Why have I never noticed this before? My BF pointed it out to me last night. He said it’s because one of my videos before was linked on pursebuzz…I was like huh? I’ve always wished she would do that! Too bad I guess that must have been one of the days I was off with my daily reading of my blog. I looked on the links and I was randomly linked to a few blogs. One was in Portuguese! Wow that was so cool! LOL, sorry I sound like a dork. But it’s amazing how far our blogs reach people. Mrs. Lynne left a comment on one of my last entries saying it was fab how we could share these things over thousands and thousands of miles. It’s amazing isn’t it?

So my co-worker called me over to her desk today. She calls me her “makeup expert”. She wanted my opinion on what to get from www.eyeslipsface.com or ELF as many of us like to call it. She was so cute…she was like “what’s mascara for?” Awww, a newbie (and she’s almost 30!). Again everything on here is $1 except the make up bags. I suggest you split it with your friends so that way you get free shipping after $75.

Anywho, I’ll be working on my funky fafi look tonight. I’ll get the video out soon. Ciao bellas!

aww, sorry to hear that you got reprimanded at work. Technically where I work, we're supposed to ask permission from our supervisors to use the internet for anything other than work-related research or filling out timecards, but you know no one's asking if they can look at youtube or shop online, or whatever else they do online! I'm going to check out the Fafi stuff tonight while I run errands with my bf, though all I seem to want from Fafi is one of each doll :) maybe a paint pot.

it's crazy (and cool) how far our blogs can go, and who we can find online.

Ah ELF...their single shadows are pretty good, so are their brushes (but not the blending brush or face brush - too scratchy) I usually wait for their BOGO or Buy 1, Get 1 50% off deals to stock up.looking forward to your fafi post!

ooooooohhhhhh sorry chica! i know the reprimanding must have stung. i'm always afraid of the same, but..... oh well =p

what do i want more of?? i might go back for the blush. though i didn't get the pink one because i want dollymix more. the colors are so whimsical and fun though (though i don't really do those looks anymore)

i might take a stab at a paint pot. i've never thought twice about them because i tried one as a base and it creased.. no thanks! but now i'm rethinking.. with udpp under it, it may stick! so if i get paint pots it'll be nice vice and perky.

crikey, can't believe they ratted you out at work like that! Clear your caches and everything from your browser. Get a RSS reader for the blogs and stuff, makes everything go a lot faster. Take pics of your haul! :)

oh man... i should stop reading beauty blogs now too. i mean i dont post at work but i still spend substantial time reading blogs just to keep my sanity intact. welp, i guess that's it for your morning posts then :(

anyway, i feel you. i don't even know why i still want more fafi when i'm disappointed in the packaging. i ended up getting 3 of the dolls, well they are cute.

dang girl... at least you weren't websense blocked, which I used to be at my other store location. sucked cuz I couldn't go to any cool sites and of course sometimes surfing the net at work makes time pass by, but then again surfing the net at work, can stop you from actually working. sucks you got called on it, that's the worst. like they are watching you. LOL.

gah! tell your fried that ELF is the anti-christ of makeup. their shit SUCKS ROCKS.

doh for getting in trouble at work. *sends horrible, evil, hope-crabs-infest-the-person's-pubic-hair vibes to the jerk who ratted you out*

while the Fafi collection totally didn't live up to The Hype, it was soooo much more fun to check the stuff out in person than it was to rely on swatches over the internet. i bought more stuff today since i was able to actually try it.

HAHA luckily I WORK FOR the INTERNET so I have pretty much seen all 4 corners of the 'net, and yes including adult sites! LOL how funny, I can't believe people ratted you out though, I say you do the same!

sisssssssster ren, nice vice paintpot is a must!! i didn't like it at all after seeing swatches but after i saw it in person, i fell in love! go get it! i'm sure you're gonna create a great look with it :)
